    Spare room is now done - the HH putting things away was a good one (she says with sore fingers):D

    Wednesday – Study or kids rooms – doesn’t apply to you then clean some windows Doing the Spare Room, which is basically used for storage:o
    Level 1

    HH putting stuff away
    Remaining free apples decluttered from storage into a crumble – which took a darned sight longer than HH!:eek::rotfl:
    Level 2
    Clear and Hoover floor
    Done by Mr LW with rest of bungalow:A
    Wipe all dusty areas with a damp cloth
    Done:o
    Change a child’s bed
    N/A:p
    Level 3
    Wipe computer keyboard and mouse, clean the screen
    Done yesterday ('puter is in lounge);)
    Run a virus scan or defrag
    Done Sunday (regular 'puter maintenance day);)
    Change any pet bedding that needs it
    [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]N/A, but room tidied ready for Dilly's “suitcase” tomorrow:T[/FONT]


    Declutter misson:

    Despite the promises decades ago that we were heading for a paperless world it doesn’t seem to have arrived! Today declutter paperwork, from files, intrays, magazines etc. Do you still have the receipts from last Christmas stuffed in a drawer? Leaflets for places you will never visit; recipes you will never make get rid of it all.

    [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Racks under computer desk all weeded – didn't find much, but what there was is now in the recycling/shredded as appropriate.:o[/FONT]


    ADDENDUM to Health Challenge: Note made for next time we visit town (probably 30th Nov, when Mr LW is next wfh) he is running low on the low-dose Aspirin the GP recommended he take with his Amlodipine - must pop into Superdrug for some more.;)

    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    It's Kitten Day Today!!!!!!

    Did you get enough for everyone? Photos please
    the autumn of 2006 Hex did have a moment when everything was done
    For a good three months as well, right until we moved and we have lived in CHAOS ever since :o
    Worryingly unworried about Christmas this year despite not having got many presents at all.

    SNAP!

    Big discussion with DH tonight. He has made the fronts for most of the kitchen cupboards and we have made the decision that instead of waiting to Boxing Day we will be stripping everything out now and getting on with it. After five years of a table, sink and limited open shelving I cant see what difference it makes :rotfl: So very excited about the new cupboards though.

    seafarers - do that bag right now. I left mine till I went on maternity leave at 34 weeks only to get admitted first day with pre eclampsia, without my bag ready. DH had to do it for me as I was in for weeks. He did his best is the kindest description.
    juliejim - huge hugs

    I have emptied and filled the DW and thought about packing some of the kitchen stuff. After a day of filling and moving boxes at work for the move there I am just too tired.
